Re: camaro suspension upgrade

Alot of the transmissions that I'm finding are from a 4wd truck. Does it really matter if its a 4 or 2wd?

I haven't gotten my donor camaro yet, just still trying to line everything up so that when I get everything, I can get working on it. Is there a particular model camaro that is best for the sub frame swap or does it matter so long as its a 2nd gen? Also, will I be able to use the rear end out of the camaro as well? Getting a rear end from the camaro, does it pretty much gaurantee that it'll be a posi rear?

Would boxing the frame in be a good idea for this particular build since I'm going with a 455 BB and 5 speed or does it matter? I haven't seen any pics where someone fully boxed the frame that I know of.

I haven't never did any kind of restoration before so I'm just trying to get all my ducks in a row.
